The Bragg wavelength is sensitive to temperature and strain. This means that the FBGs can be used as sensing elements in optical sensors. This type of Fiber Bragg Grating is specially designed with ...

As the demand for bandwidth and high-speed transport grows, so does the use of fiber-optic based transport. One of the enabling technologies associated with optical transport are Fiber Bragg gratings ...
